“Thank you to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame for this incredible recognition. In 1989, I woke up from a music festival tour to the southwest of France with a vision to re-create that magic, in a certain special location in the Rockies, with a very different musical history," Horowitz says. "Despite some setbacks along the way, thankfully I never quit, and an extraordinary team of passionate music lovers, the JAS Team is keeping the flame alive. It’s humbling and deeply gratifying to say that JAS Aspen is a permanent fact of Colorado life!”
Horowitz founded JAS in 1991 as a music nonprofit that preserves jazz through events, education and concerts. The induction for both Horowitz and the nonprofit will occur during the three-day Labor Day weekend festival, dubbed the JAS Experience, from August 29 to 31.
